Hey MM'ers.... Been a while since I've posted but I figured there's no better place to ask some questions about the January archery hunt.... Yep, I'm not looking for honey holes, or any trade secrets. Maybe just a unit number or two. I've wanted to do this hunt for the last 5 or 6 years and...

The topic of how far the zoom works on the fz-20 has come up here a bunch in teh past. I have a few pics to give you an idea... this buck was snapped at 135 yards with the digital zoom, camera held against my truck on the priority setting..... This picture is taken at 289 yards on a tripod...

Its a little long, so buckle up..... With great anticipation of another great Colorado hunt, we loaded up the trucks and hooked up the jeep for the haul East. The thought of our third season tags wrapped around the monstrous racks of rutting Colorado mulies produced electricity that easily...

This is long..... A buddy and I have waited over a decade to draw the infamous X-7A tag. I grew up camping and fishing in this unit, and my family hunted it for many years, always with good success. What we found was far from encouraging. Here is a re-cap of the last weekend?. Saturday...

LAST EDITED ON Oct-17-05 AT 09:55AM (MST)[p]Anyone have a good formula for "guess-timating" the live weight of a dead deer. My buddy killed a buck this weekend that weighed in at 112 on the butchers hook. We always kinda guessed 40 lbs for guts and 40 lbs for hide and head / rack. Any other...

Well, I have officially joined the FZ-20 geek squad. I am very excited and even captured my first buck yesterday. My question is about Memory cards, I know it uses "SD" memeory cards, are some faster than others?? In the descriptions I see that some write at 5MB/sec., some at 10MB/sec. I see...

I've been blessed over the last 10 years to have the opportunity to go hunt out of state places. This year, I will be returning to gorgeous Colorado. The lessons I've learned, and the camaraderie I have shared have shaped and molded me as a man, hunter, and friend. I am grateful for my...

I have a excel file that has the drop characteristics for: .270 shooting 150 gr sp .300 wby shooting factory 180 gr sp If your interested, you can email me and I'll forward it. To the right is a cut-out box that I attach with clear packing tape to my stock for quick confirmation out to 500...

http://wildlife.state.co.us/hunt/BGHunting_Guides/NW.pdf I was surfing around the CDOW website and came across this PDF that has some good information. I have seen a bunch of questions here regarding different units, so maybe this will serve as a tool for those that aren't getting...

Anyone go an the January archery muley hunt? I'm looking for info about how tags are aquired (Draw or over the counter) also wondering what the weather is like. Is there much pressure on these hunts? Is there decent land access. I have always wanted to hunt arizona and this might be a fun late...

Been a few months since I have got to reply to anything, been reading the site everyday, but the "geeks" here at work have killed my ability to post. May have found a way around it so hopefully this works. Been an interesting year with the truck (and me) getting totalled three days before my...

Good luck to everyone heading out to Colorado this third season. I'll be on the road tommorow morning. Be sure to be safe on the raods, should be an ugly ride out with all this rain and snow. Everything is shaping up for a monster season. Aim small, and have a blast. Can't wait to get back and...

I realized a major setback to my 2004 hunting trip which I leave for next wednesday. Last night while on my way home from work a lady decided it would be a good idea to pay much more attention to her cell phone and not a STOP sign and ran a red right in front of my new truck. The new 2004 sierra...

LAST EDITED ON Oct-21-04 AT 09:14AM (MST)[p]Hello fellow kali resident, Just wanted to take a second to pass along some guidelines in an attempt to help our image in other states that we enjoy traveling to and hunting in. We have it pretty good here, but for those of you oblivious to the world...

Paging Trent, Trent to the white courtesy telefono.... Any body seen / heard hide nor hair of OSOK?? Did he vanish? My bet is he's all tight lipped about some monster he and his guys have scouted and he's affraid if he comes around he might spill the beans. Am I close? Or are you just not...

Anyone use the superday pack or the stealth rt day pack?? I have a few questions: Will a spotting scope (nikon xl) and tripod fit good. How's the hydration pocket, will it accomadate the camel back bladders? Is the waist belt comfortable or too padded. Is the back insert bothersome? Is it...

LAST EDITED ON Aug-30-04 AT 02:37PM (MST)[p]I hate that I am posting something political, but it's important that we know who has our back when it counts, especially in the places where laws are made. Does anyone have any good info on the candidates and what they stand for when it comes to guns...

I hate that I am posting something political, but it's important that we know who has our back when it counts, especially in the places where laws are made. Does anyone have any good info on the candidates and what they stand for when it comes to guns, ammo, hunting, wildlife, and our public...

Hey guys, Thought I'd be the first MM memeber to post from Europe!! Germany to be exact (munich). I am awaiting my connection to San Francisco after a long two weeks of eating and drinking, walking and biking in florence, Rome, and Lucca Italy. Many of you are still enjoying monster muley...

People are upset that there is some rumbling and arguing and negativity around here lately. No biggee, it just confirms the fact that its almost go time. (it happens here every year, things will calm down when monster bucks start hittig the ground). In any event, I Hope you guys don't go...

I currently have a crooked horn trailblazer 2000 that I like , but have outgrown. Would like something that accomadates the spooter but isn't giant. Must ride comfortably (not to low, I'm 6'2" and hate a pack that makes me feel like I'm giving a lazy midget a piggy back ride). Thought I'd throw...

LAST EDITED ON Jul-12-04 AT 03:09PM (MST)[p]Well, I think its getting close enough that some of us have already conjured up visions and dreams of "the buck" we're gonna kill this year. So what'll it be? Call your shot, what are holding out for? Rattle of your 2004 criteria... As for me... In...

This was brought up in another post and I thought it deserved its own thread...Hope someone has some insight. The NEW Leupold vs the very popular Nikon XL. LEUPOLD 15X30X50MM VS. Nikon 16x48x60 anybody have the wild card.....(almost identical to the nikon) bausch & Laumb elite...

Here are a few pics of a two bucks I've been watching for a few years. Friday night they had another simular size buck with a straight 4x4. Go to the webshots album to view the rest of the set...enjoy!! album...

Just thought we could get a post going to share what basket we were all putting next years monster blacktail dreams in. For the 15th year in a row I will be putting in for X-7A and hope to keep my "no-draw" streak alive (how do ya like the reverse psychology!). Second choice is a Big green "B"...

Hello hello, A quickee for the masses. Anyone own, use, or have any experience with the double bull blinds. I am thinking of picking one up for turkeys (bow), but also thought it might not be a bad idea for hunting or taking pictures of other things that taste good. Anyone have any reviews...

Hello boys and girls, After a 2 month hibernation, cleansing myself of the season past, I amble out of a monster muley hangover feeling refreshed and invigorated. The months ahead are critical to those whose dream of massive racks atop heads supported by thick necks. As preparations are made...

Hey guys, Just switched from alum. to carbons, got a few carbon express terminator selects from a friend and was interested in taking off the old vanes and changing to a larger size. Once I cut off the old vanes, what should I use to remove any old glue?? Also, what glue are you guys using to...

Hey Boys, Just thought I'd wish you guys (and gals) a merry christmas and a happy new year. Hopefully in the neXT few months things will pick up as christmas wishes turn into limited entry tags and monster bucks. Good luck to everyone and have a safe holiday season. LOOK'S LIKE THE SLEIGH...

Howdy fellers, Just wondering how many of Y'all are hunting the D-zones this year? As I am sure its no surprise to any of you, I didn't draw a X zone tag again. No biggee...my tan was getting a little faded anyway. On a side note, I am looking for camoflage coppertone for the archery season...
